Mo feeds the fans

Bucks guard Mo Williams was definitely feeling it when he stepped up to the free-throw line with 9.6 seconds left in the game against the Orlando Magic Wednesday night at the BradleyCenter.

“A lot of pressure,” said Williams. “A lot of pressure on that last one.”

Williams wasn’t feeling the pressure because the game was on the line. The Bucks were well on their way to a 100-86 victory. We’re talking free hamburgers here.

Anytime the Bucks score 100 points and win a game, fans are rewarded with a free hamburger from a fast-foot chain and those in attendance Wednesday could almost taste the mustard as Williams stepped to the line in the final seconds.

Williams, who was well-aware of what was at stake, said he had only one thing in mind as he stepped to the foul line.

“Make the free throws,” said Williams after Monday’s practice. “I needed the first one for the second one (to be meaningful). It was fun. I knew I was going to make them both.”

Williams stepped back off the line after making the first free throw and then a wide grin broke out across his face after he dropped in the second.
